Black tea, which originated in China, is the most widely produced and consumed tea in the world. It is also one of the leading teas in the world tea trade and is deeply loved by consumers. Currently, with the increasing public pursuit of health and the environmental trend of the rise of Guosheng Tea, the black tea industry is accelerating its development.


On the 1st and 26th, at the National Black Tea Science and Technology Innovation and Industrial Innovation Integrated Development Conference held in Yibin, Sichuan, experts, scholars, scientific research technicians from the tea and food fields, and front-line industry practitioners discussed the development and market trends of black tea and other issues.


Cao Yongsheng, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that black tea originated in China and spread to the world. Since the 21st century, driven by healthy consumption and technological innovation, my country's black tea industry has achieved rapid development and has become the second largest tea category, playing a unique and important role in increasing farmers' income and rural revitalization.

Liu Zhonghua, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, president of Hunan Normal University, and director of Yibin Tea Industry Research Institute, said that the future of China’s tea industry can be summarized as “elevenization”. That is: improved varieties, ecological cultivation, green plant protection, mechanized farming, intelligent picking, automated processing, standardized quality control, informationized production management, diversified tea products, and branded marketing. The final goal is to maximize the value of resources.

Xie Mingyong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the National Key Laboratory of Food Science and Resource Mining at Nanchang University, said that dietary structure is closely linked to human health. Tea is a very good plant-based food. Fermentation with plant-based food, such as lactic acid bacteria, will produce a series of new food products. Through the accumulation of theory and technological research and development of fermented foods, combined with the market demand for healthy diets for patients with chronic diseases, fermented foods will become one of the directions for the development of healthy foods.

Jiang Yongwen, Secretary of the Party Committee and Deputy Director of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that five measures must be taken for the high-quality development of the black tea industry: first, to establish Chinese black tea quality evaluation standards; second, to continuously strengthen black tea technological innovation, improve black tea quality and product differentiation; third, to strengthen the protection of geographical indication products; fourth, to support leading black tea companies and help them build corporate brands; fifth, to strengthen the training of various tea talents.

When analyzing the differences between domestic and foreign black tea markets, Sun Hong, chief expert of Sichuan Black Tea Industry Group, said that although domestic black tea has developed well, there are still big differences in terms of the development status of international and domestic black tea. China's black tea industry must accelerate its transformation and upgrading from technological lag to innovation-driven, from decentralized production to efficient collaboration, and from price competition to value competition, in order to promote the high-quality development of black tea.
